I really hate this time of year

[Guynemer]

So what you're saying is that a 25 year old couldn't be expected to be on top of several decades-old music?

No, what I'm saying is that the bieber comparison is meaningless.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_music_artists

The only band from an English-speaking country I'd never heard of with more than 100 mill in total sales is "Status Quo" (?)

Likewise. ****, we can go all the way down to the 50 mill level and I recognize everyone but Status Quo and Ray Conniff (?).



We'd all go much easier on you, Al, if you just admitted you were a complete cultural illiterate. And also if you stopped blaming women for not wanting anything to do with you.

[KrazyHorse]

In total, I'm 109/113 higher than 50 mill total global sales, bands from english countries.

From Asher's list (100 long), I'm missing George Strait (12), Alan Jackson (32) and Vince Gill (87).

All of them are country.

[C0ckney]

i think on the whole list it's only a few japanese ones (michiya mihashi, b'z, mr children, hikaru utada, hibari misora) and orhan gencebay that i'm not at least vaguely familiar with. i've wasted entirely too much time listening to music...

oh and some joker called tupac shakur?!

[KrazyHorse]

I want to note that in no way, shape or form do I consider myself knowledgeable about music.

But given albie's claimed level of ignorance, he might only be 50/100, which seems ridiculous...

[Al B. Sure!]

Fine. The US Chart. These are the ones I have never heard of:

Eagles
George Strait
Van Halen
Alabama
Alan Jackson
Bob Seger
WHAT THE ****? Reba McEntire is a singer? I thought she was an actress only
Def Leppard
James Taylor
Boston
Linda Ronstadt
Mannheim Steamroller
Brooks & Dunn
(I can't believe Jay-Z has outsold Luther Vandross by the way )
Rush
Steve Miller Band
The Carpenters
Vince Gill
Kenny Chesney
I wouldn't have known The Cars if Jrabbit hadn't mentioned them in another thread
REO Speedwagon

[KrazyHorse]

I would laugh at you not knowing the Eagles if you hadn't already numbed me by not knowing Led Zeppelin.

"Hotel California" ring a ****ing bell?

No wonder you've terrible taste in music. You've no idea what's out there.

[Al B. Sure!]

HOLY ****.

Oh wow. Yeah. I don't know about the popular ****. Half of those people are country music.

I'd rather stick to listening to what I like, whether it sells 100 million records or not, thank you.

[C0ckney]

i'm surprised about rush al, berz and sloww have posted a crapload of their songs in the music thread(s).

also, kenny g is the biggest selling jazz artist in the US, that's ****ing depressing.

[KrazyHorse]

Black people constantly ripping off superior white music with inferior copies:

[Asher]

HOLY ****.

**** is right. ****.

[Asher]

This Al B Sure ****er seems to have made a career out of murdering white music...
